He survived the bullet. That was the easy part.
Rasheen Smith woke up on a table in a back-room clinic with a crooked doctor's hands inside him and twenty-five million dollars nobody else can find. Killer Kato is dead. Hoodaroma Entertainment — the rap empire built on blood money — is sitting unclaimed, and by a signature nobody expected to matter, Rasheen is the heir.
That makes him the most valuable dead man in America.
Aaron Wilson wants him in the ground — a federal agent with a badge, a body count, and a Colombian army on the payroll. Phillip Henderson wants him erased — a lawyer who finally got his hands on real money and will do anything to keep it. And in a state prison cell, Camila Nelson is raising a son who has never seen the outside, praying the father of her child is still breathing.
Everybody wants a piece. Everybody has a price. And the ones closest to Rasheen are the ones doing the math.
The streets take everything. The question is what you hand over first.
From the author whose true story became the A24 film Sing Sing.
John "Divine G" Whitfield is a PEN Award–winning novelist, an Oscar-nominated writer and executive producer on Sing Sing, and a founding member of Rehabilitation Through the Arts. Colman Domingo portrayed him on screen in an Academy Award–nominated performance. Money Grip — the first book in this series — appears on screen in the film itself.
These books are not written about the life. They were written from inside it.
